WORKERS COMP- Pressure Today/When I'm Here - 7" - BEAU TRAVAIL
First 7inch by this band from Baltimore after two tape releases. One side: The Velvet Underground meets Springsteen-working class lyrics, sung by a young Lou Reed. You're right, as good as it gets! And on the flipside "When I'm Here": Thinking of a young Kris Kristofferson doing something like "Sunday Morning Coming Down". Or David Berman's late SILVER JEWS in peak form. Punk-spirited Alt-Country. Nonchalant, cool and plain brilliant! Exquisitely packaged as well!!!
